Ah yes and how strongly he did in the rain last race, truly fantastic.... wait, thats Button I'm thinking about.
My predictions: Ferrari are very strong in Istanbul and the only way Schmuck loses is if he throws it away.
1. Schmuck
2. Kimi
3. Massa/Trulli
Fonsi: DNF (god i just loved typing that

).

prince85 · 19th August 2006, 12:31

This is a Shummi fan and i want MS to win but i feel it will be

1. Fernando Alonso

2. Michael Schumacher
3. Kimi/Massa/Fisi.

With Renault's claim of a new aero-package and engine development, they are looking increasingly dangerous according to me atleast. But i feel that the 3 week testing ban prior to this race must have hindered their progress some-what! And i hope Ferrari have a good enough pacakge to match the Renault.

Contary to my predictions, i wish for an MS victory!

madhav · 19th August 2006, 15:20

Why are you guys counting out McLaren and Honda. They are also quiet strong and might just make things very interesting!

Mistakenguy · 19th August 2006, 18:05

Though i'm a big time Kimi n Mclaren fan , I guess the podium will be shared by
1.Michael Schumacher
2.Kimi Raikkonnen
3.Massa
As some one told earlier
Fernando Alonso - DNF

Its actually,
Drivers - 10
Constructors - 7

With dampers now illegal ... I would love to see Fonso struggle.

madhav · 24th August 2006, 13:23

oh! looks like ferrari managed to get even with renault! Ferrari musta been real mad with FIA asking them to correct their flexi wing, so make them happy the FIA has made the dampers illegal.... just kiddin!

Ok.. so, now the let us see what happens!
My prediction
1. Kimi
2. Pedro
3. Button

Schumi and Alonso DNF they should crash into each other!! Massa 9th place

Fisi.. who cares!

Sid Schumacher · 24th August 2006, 15:39

I would have to say MS followed by a McLaren and a Honda.
Renault have not much of a chance of winning because hey've been instructed by the FIA to stop using the Mass Damper..
Now,thats what i would call as a blow in the face of Alonso..

sujaylahiri · 26th August 2006, 02:40

I think Alonso's gonna pull this one off. I have a hunch that Schumacher's luck might run out in this race.

Alphonso
Kimster
Button (I hope)

karthik247 · 26th August 2006, 09:35

sridhar24 · 26th August 2006, 14:26

Remember guys how good Fernando was at Hungary even without the mass dampers. So don't write them off yet and Renaultwill also be using new aero parts for the race. So lets wait and see how the race turns out.

Here's my prediction-
1. Schumi
2. Fernando
3. Kimi/Pedro
